JMeter Script for Linux
Posted on November 3rd, 2005 No commentsI wrote a while ago that JMeter comes with several launch scripts for starting the testing tool in different environments and conditions. One of those scripts was jmeter-n.bat, designed for background execution. It was unusual that a proxy was not supported in the original version which prompted me to write one that does.
I was playing with JMeter last night on my Linux box when I realized that some shell scripts for Linux were not included in the default JMeter distribution (Ver 2.2). In fact the only shell script that I could find was jmeter, the default JMeter launch script which needs a Swing interface to run. Other scripts were simply missing and the one I needed was jmeter-n.bat. Clearly a jmeter-n.sh was needed. So I decided to write my own. Here is a simplified jmeter-n.sh only tested in Linux 2.6.

You can download the shell script from here. Do not forget to edit the environment variables (JAVA_HOME, JMETER_HOME) and $ chmod +x jmeter-n.sh before running the script.
